The Seventh Prince looked at the scene before him.

Their situation wasn't as complicated as the Third Prince's, but they still felt it was inappropriate.

Unfortunately, even though Qiao Yuchen clearly saw it, he could still sit there and watch, which the Seventh Prince could not accept.

He had sent this person out on a mission that nearly caused trouble for the woman, and when the person returned, she simply quit, leaving him in a very passive position.

In this whole affair, the most unfortunate one was the Third Prince. He should have been the one who benefited the most, but Chen Siyuan got all of it.

The fact that the fourth prince was able to save his life by a twist of fate also shows that this woman is not simple.

But now... hehe...

"Aren't you going to go and take a look?" The Seventh Prince thought that the woman's appearance wasn't necessarily a bad thing.

At least after harming Qiao Yuchen, the blow to others was even greater.

If the Third Prince gains the Emperor's favor this time, I will become even more passive in the future. If the Third Prince targets me then, the outcome will not be good.

As a brother of many years, he knew that the Fourth Prince was in trouble, but he was not dead yet. As long as he had a breath left, he would definitely launch a counterattack.

"What's so interesting?" Qiao Yuchen smiled, not caring much, and casually picked up a plate of pastries from the table and began to eat them.

Upon seeing this, the Seventh Prince could no longer remain calm.

What exactly does this guy mean?

The woman he's always protected might be bullied by others; why isn't he worried?

"Seventh Prince, just wait and see what happens!"

He was very worried about today's banquet at the palace.

He was worried that their hard-won improved relationship might be ruined if someone met and found out something they shouldn't know, which would make things difficult for him and Chen Siyuan.

Fortunately, it seems that everything is within his control.

By deliberately using Tao Yifan's reputation, Qiao Zhen lured Princess Qi Ya away. When she returned, she was filled with anger. Qiao Zhen then had the misfortune of bumping into Princess Qi Ya, and that's how the whole thing started.

If they meet at this palace banquet and the truth about how Princess Qiya was lured to the South City is not revealed, then the woman who was about to take action is still his wife.

It can be said that he regretted leading Princess Qiya to the South City for a long time, because Chen Siyuan was injured by Princess Qiya, and he became somewhat agitated afterward.

Princess Qiya's appearance ruined Tao Yifan and Chen Siyuan's marriage, but he appeared at the right time, which is how they got their current status as husband and wife.

The concept of official status is very important. After today's banquet, everyone knows that Chen Siyuan is Qiao Yuchen's wife. From now on, anyone who wants to do anything will have to think twice, lest some people's family reputation, which has been built up over hundreds of years, be put in the hands of one person.

The Seventh Prince found Qiao Yuchen's words amusing.

He glanced at the woman facing Princess Qiya, who showed no sign of backing down, and stared at her a few more times.

She's such an interesting and intelligent woman.

......

Qiao Yang was happy to see this.

Okay, keep making a scene, keep making a scene, until someone dies.

It's hard to say about others, but Princess Qiya is incredibly bold, and over the years, the old emperor has absolutely indulged her.

Now that bitch Chen Siyuan is rushing over there without knowing what's going on, she's practically asking for death.

Think about it, Chen Siyuan is just the daughter of a merchant from a small town. When has she ever seen such a scene? She still thinks she can speak and act so casually in her own little courtyard.

She herself was the moon in the sky, a bright pearl, and even if Chen Siyuan had an imperial title, she was still a worthless, worthless fish.

How could her status compare to my own noble status?

Seeing the Third Prince standing in the distance looking this way, her smile deepened.

I knew I would see him at this banquet.

He was still so dazzling; just looking at him from afar made her heart pound.

The Third Prince is now in a better position. Given their current relationship, he will marry her sooner or later. Then, with the power of the General's Mansion, she will be the woman sitting on the Empress's throne.

Thinking of this, her face flushed.

......

Madam Qiao also saw what was happening. She was worried and scared and wanted to come over to warn Chen Siyuan, but General Qiao held her back tightly, preventing her from getting close.

Mrs. Qiao was extremely worried.

Whether Chen Siyuan held an imperial title or not was irrelevant to her; what she cared about was that this was the woman Qiao Yuchen had married. What if something went wrong? How would she explain it to him?

Because of the incident in prison, she clearly sensed the distance between Qiao Yuchen and them. If she continued to let things continue like this, wouldn't that...?

"General, you....."

“Madam, there’s no need to rush,” General Qiao said, glancing up at the sky.

At first, Madam Qiao didn't understand, but after seeing the signal in General Qiao's eyes, she couldn't believe it. Could this really be true?

...

Chen Siyuan, however, did not notice the meaningful glances around her.

“Princess Qiya, as a princess, you should have the demeanor befitting royalty. Even if my younger sister accidentally bumped into you, is it necessary for you to humiliate her in public like this?” Chen Siyuan wanted nothing more than to kill this person, but she knew in her heart that if her words could not stand up to scrutiny, it would bring about a terrible disaster.

Princess Qiya was madly in love with Tao Yifan, and the more she loved Tao Yifan, the more she hated Chen Siyuan.

What kind of person is she? She's already broken off her engagement with Tao Yifan and gotten married, so why is she still clinging to him?

Others may not know, but she is a princess, and she has heard about everything that happened at the restaurant that day.

I thought she could let go, but now I realize that she can only truly let go when someone dies.

Just as he was about to make a move, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Tao Yifan not far away, who happened to be looking in their direction.

Suddenly, a surge of anger welled up inside me.

After Chen Siyuan married someone else, she tried to win Tao Yifan's favor several times, but each time it was in vain... Thinking of the look of disgust in Tao Yifan's eyes, she felt even more resentful.

She wasn't originally a real princess, but in recent years the old emperor had doted on her and treated her like one, indulging her greatly. However, she knew in her heart that while the old emperor was still alive, she could only find a suitable husband for herself. Only in this way could her life be considered glorious.

Currently, the old emperor is in poor health. Originally, with his relationship with the third prince, it shouldn't have been difficult to find a strategist by his side. Who would have thought... that he would be humiliated like this.

Princess Qiya suppressed the twisted hatred in her heart and tried hard to control the urge to snap the other person's neck. She wanted to show Tao Yifan who was the most suitable woman for him.

He sneered arrogantly at Chen Siyuan, lowering his voice to mock, "What right do you, a lowly woman who has never seen the world, have to spout nonsense here?"

Chen Siyuan noticed the change in some people, but she didn't care. "Just because I am a first-rank imperial consort appointed by the Emperor."
